Clear Channel Hints At Future Non Radio Events

On the heels of the renaming of Clear Channel’s Radio division as Clear Channel Media & Entertainment, the company has registered a trio of domains hinting at the first initiatives the company will take as it begins its diversification.

The first moves all look to be award ceremonies that can be promoted via the radio stations and sold to a television distributor for airing. The domains are IHeartMusicAwards.com, IHeartMovieAwards.com, and IHeartHallofFame.com. All three, much like the existing IHeartRadio Music Festival and Z100 Jingle Ball, which airs nationally on Fuse can fuse live events, radio promotion, and television (and online) distribution models.
